Energy cost is one of the largest operating expenses in a honeycomb pad plant, but it is also one of the easiest to measure and optimise.
Start with a basic energy audit around motors, heating zones and compressed air usage. Simple changes like right-sizing motors, using VFDs on key drives, and improving insulation on curing ovens can deliver measurable savings.
Well-designed machines avoid unnecessary idling, reduce rework and minimise waste, all of which indirectly reduce your kWh per square meter of finished pad.
